Draw 1 circle set to a fraction larger in size then your bit
For example I made my tool holder for 1/8" bits or (0.125") I made the circles 0.130" to allow for wiggle room and the bits to fit well.
Copy and repeat your circle to as many positions on the one top board of your box

Once cut out

Sand of the tabs, do any fine sanding to clean all edges up
I used crazy glue to assemble the box.
Start with the base and glue the 4 × 1″ high sides around it
Finish with gluing the top down
Finally Insert all of your bits for easy access storage
